hmmm… i can’t reproduce what you’re describing.

Now that the Quercus observation has a new comment containing a link, that link opens to the same Erodium as well.

does any link to an iNat observation take you to the same observation? for example, if you click on the link below in this forum post on your phone, does it take you to the correct observation? https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/104380642 when you have the observation open in the app, you’l…
